Camping Season!

I made my first camping trip of the year this last weekend and brought along a number of Minimus products to field test.

First off, I was quite impressed by how much weight and room I saved by bringing travel sized toiletries along. My camp site was a short hike in, just a hundred yards or so, but it was easy to see how convenient it will be the next time I make a serious hike into back country. My load was noticibly lighter and more comfortable.

The travel size toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, floss, shaving cream, deodorant, soap and sunblock all saw use over the weekend and I was glad to have them in such convenient sizes. Food is a big part of any camp out and the portable salad dressings, hot sauce, pancake syrup (yummy), soy sauce, ketchup and other condiments were all welcome additions around camp and their smaller sizes made for more room in my bags.

Following a suggestion from one of our customers I brought along some of our squeezer's peanut butter and jelly to make sandwiches, what a great idea! I was glad to avoid using the poncho I brought along to test (it keeps raining almost every weekend here in Southern California) but had it rained I would have been happy to have it.

I hope your camping trips this year are as fun as mine and if you've got any suggestions please pass them along, we'd love to hear them here at minimus!
